Please answer this probability question.

Answer 1

Answer:

          $\large\boxed{\large\boxed{1/9}}}$

Explanation:

1.  Sample space:

Since the each die has 6 different possible outcomes, the number of ways that can the two dice land is 6 × 6 36

2. Number of favorable outcomes:

• 1 + 1 = 2

• 1 + 3 = 4

• 2 + 2 = 4

• 3 + 1 = 4

Those are a total of 4 different outcomes for the sum of the result rolled is 2 or 4.

3. Probability:

• Probability = # favorable outcomes / # possible outcomes

• Probability = 4 / 36 = 1 / 9
